It's an Asus A7V600 with 3 Promise SATA150-TX4 SATA cards. With 2.6.6 (and 2.6.6-bk3) it hangs with a dma timeout on boot detecting the 9th sata drive (there are 10). I left it for about 10 minutes to see if anything else transpired but it just sat there. I'm on a serial console to this machine at the moment and I could not get it to respond to the magic sysrq key over serial either. I have placed all relevant info including a capture of 2.6.5 boot and 2.6.6 boot, plus all requested info from linux/REPORTING-BUGS on my webpage Normal working dmesg http://www.wasp.net.au/~brad/2.6.5.log Hung up dmesg http://www.wasp.net.au/~brad/2.6.6.log .config and all other info I could gather. http://www.wasp.net.au/~brad/2.6.6.config Much as I'd love to be subscribed, I just can't keep up with the volume so please cc: me. Willing to try patches/hacks/suggestions Actually, while I'm here I just connected 2 sata drives to the onboard via sata ports and 2.6.5 won't detect them. All relevant info is in the logs. insmod sata_via just silently loads and nothing occurs. The onboard raid bios detects the drives fine and I have no raid created or enabled. Regards, Brad
